I hope this is good. I love the art design and the setting. What can I say, I'm a sucker for 1930-40s era Jazz.

Shadow Physics did it! It also went an extra step with the concept so it's more interesting.

That is literally the worst trailer possible for that game. The song is awesome, and I like the visual style. However, it doesn't tell anyone what the fuck the game is about.

@jakob187: I will guess it is a platformer that switches between three dimensions and two dimensions.

played it at e3 could be pretty good. jackob it's basically a puzzle platformer where you can go into the shadows or jump around the environment. The demo I played had a surprising amount of jumping in and out of the shadows. it was challenging but in a good way. If you like the vibe you get off of this trailer I recommend checking it out. It sticks to that vibe and does it pretty well. The plot was interesting as well. The end of the trailer shows the mom and daughter figure working together. Which could be interesting. It was the added mechanic it needs to make the game keep your interest. I didn't even finish the demo, because I got bored of the daughter by herself.

Still Day 1 for the PS4 it seems. It'll be a nice change of pace from Knack, Killzone, and Resogun. Definitely picking it up.

Wow, the characters have changed a bit since this was first on Greenlight.

I'm still super looking forward to this game.

Planning on picking this up for PS4. I'm hoping it'll be a fun platformer. It definitely has style.

With the trailers explaining about the game mechanics, this one about the theme, presentation and style was the one that sold me.

Anyone know who the voice actor in the beginning was? The father shadow. I know that voice from somewhere...

You are not alone, my friend. The game looks great and all, but the music is what really sold it for me.
